A team of insurance consultants from Lignum Risk Partners has played a key role in developing the UK’s first commercial timber construction guidebook. This new guide aims to make building with wood safer and more efficient.
Timber is becoming a popular choice for modern buildings because it is eco-friendly and sustainable. However, using wood in large projects comes with risks, such as fire safety and structural durability. The guidebook provides clear advice on how to manage these risks.
Lignum Risk Partners, specialists in construction insurance, shared their expertise to help write the guide. Their knowledge ensures that builders, architects, and insurers understand the best ways to use timber safely. The guide covers important topics like fire protection, insurance requirements, and long-term maintenance.
This project is a big step forward for the UK’s construction industry. By using more timber, builders can reduce carbon emissions and support sustainable development. The guidebook will help companies follow regulations while making strong, safe wooden buildings.
The release of this guide is timely, as the UK government encourages greener construction methods. With expert input from Lignum Risk Partners, the timber industry can grow with confidence. Builders now have a reliable resource to plan and insure their projects properly.
This collaboration shows how insurance experts can help shape safer, more sustainable construction practices. The guidebook is expected to become an essential tool for anyone working with timber in the UK.
